Everyone's eyes grew wide.New York City?Really?They were going there?
"New York?"Centipede asked,"They love me there!"
"Wonderful!"James said,"They've got a whole park full of leaves for you,Mrs.Ladybug,"
Mrs.Ladybug looked at the picture James was pointing at and smiled.
"Central Park!"Centipede said.
"And loads of dark hiding places,"James countined.
A smile crepted across Ms.Spider face.
"Night clubs,"Centipede said.
"And museums and concrets,"James said showing Mr.Grasshopper the picture.
"Not to mention Yankee Stadium,"Centipede said.
"What about me?"Earthworm asked getting upset.
"Why they got miles and miles of underground tunnels,"James said.
Earthworm smiled.
"The subway!"Centipede said.
"Hey!You left me out,"Luna said.
"They got a good view of the moon when it is full at night,"James said.
"Really?"Luna said wagging her tail.
"My father says it's the place where dreams come true,"James said.
Everyone started saying that's the life for them until Mr.Grasshopper spoke.
"New York it is then.Now how do we get there?"he said.
Centipede stood up,"I'll get us there,"
"You?"Mr.Grasshopper asked.
"Sure.I've sailed all the five seas,"Centipede said getting all up in Ms.Spider's face,"From the sun dreached wreaths of Bora Bora to the icy shores of Tripoli,"
"Oh really then?"Luna said.
"Commodore Centipede they used to call me,"Centipede said.
Mr.Grasshopper didn't look at all impressed.He counted all the seas and relieze there was two seas missing.
"Seven,"Mr.Grasshopper said.
"Huh?"Centipede said looking dumbfounded.
"There are seven seas and Tripoli is in the suntropics...Commodore,"Mr.Grasshopper said correcting Centipede.
"Trim the sails!"Centipede said.
"There are no sails,"Mrs.Ladybug explained.
"Stoke the engines!"he yelled again.
"There are no engines,"Earthworm said.
"Is there anything on this peach?!"Centipede said.
"There is nothing!It's nothing,but a peach.A GIANT FRUIT!"Luna said.
"I can't work with this miserable crew!"he said throwing his hat on the ground.
"Great!We're stuck here until we shirvel up and die,"Earthworm said.
"Highly improbable,"Mr.Grasshopper said cleaning his eye piece.
"That's a relief,"Mrs.Ladybug said.
"Tell me about it,"Luna said.
"We're far more likely to drown,"Mr.Grasshopper said.
Everyone gasped and everyone just started talking about how they didn't want to die.James stood on top of the stem and looked to the sky.He saw a flock of seagulls and got an idea.
"I know!We could...,"he stopped himself,"No.It's a stupid idea,"
"Compared to what?"Mr.Grasshopper asked looking over at Centipede.
"Hey!"Centipede yelled.
"Well,we could fly out,"James said.
Everyone thought about it for awhile.Centipede was the first to speak.
"He's right.It's stupid,"Centipede said.
"How do you know?"Luna asked.
"By the way it's sound,"Centipede answered.
Mr.Grasshopper looked at him angerly.
"How would you do it James?"Mrs.Ladybug asked.
"With the seagulls,but we'll need string,"James answered.
"Oh well I'll just go to the stationer's and pick up some paper clips while I'm at it!"Earthworm said.
"I have string,"Ms.Spider said,"Miles of string,"
"Well that takes care of the string problem,"Luna said.
"And we'll need bait.Bird bait,"James said.
"Bird bait?Where do you expect we're going to find bird bait out here in the middle of the...the..?"Earthworm stopped and looked around.
Everyone was staring at him and they were smiling.Mrs.Ladybug pulled a cow bell out of her handbag.
"Oh no.Oh no.Have you lost your minds?"Earthworm asked.
Everyone grabbed Earthworm and dragged him back inside the peach and tyed the bell around him.
